androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-05 10:11:02

Ryan Whitwam / Android Authority TL;DR A leak may have revealed the official color names for the OnePlus 15. It’s said that there are three colors: Original Sand Dune, Absolute Black, and Mist Purple. The Absolute Black and Mist Purple SKUs will reportedly weigh 215g, while the Dune color is a little lighter at 211g. Back in June, a leak claimed that the next flagship from OnePlus would have a “SuperBlack” colorway. This black color reportedly has a very high light absorption rate, high enou

OnePlus 15’s leaked camera spec hints at higher zoom, but with a catch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-11 10:13:07

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR OnePlus 15 camera leaks reveal a new focal length and aperture for the 50MP periscope telephoto lens. The new lens supposedly has a narrower f/2.8 aperture, a downgrade from the OnePlus 13’s f/2.6 aperture. Another possible leak suggests the OnePlus 15 might be cheaper due to cost-cutting measures, including a different display and the end of the Hasselblad partnership. OnePlus makes some excellent Android flagships, and the current generation OnePlus 13

There was no reason given for the split, though OnePlus heaped praise on Hasselblad in that blog post. It lauded the camera maker's "obsession with precision and detail" and opined about "nights in the lab chasing the perfect balance of light and shadow." The company also said that "Hassel

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR As previously rumored, the OnePlus 15 is expected to launch with a new in-house imaging engine. This move suggests Hasselblad branding may no longer appear on OnePlus flagships. The change would bring the OnePlus 15 camera process more in line with rivals like Samsung and Google.

The OnePlus 15 could put the Pixel 10 Pro to shame for base storage

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The OnePlus 15 will apparently start at 12GB/256GB storage, all the way to 16GB/1TB. This means the phone will have more base storage than the Pixel 10 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro. The phone is also tipped to arrive in Purple and Titanium colors, in addition to the previously leaked Black option.

OnePlus will limit bootloader unlocking, but it’s not all bad news

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR OnePlus is placing new restrictions on bootloader unlocking. It requires filling out an application form and limits the number of requests to one every 30 days. Thankfully, these limitations only apply to Chinese users (so far) and only on devices running at least ColorOS 16 based on Android 16.

That’s fine if you’re easy and just want a pair of AirPods, but for anyone who wants to dig deeper into what’s out there—whether for design or compatibility reasons—a crowded field makes research a nightmare.

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority One UI has been with us for six years now, and it’s easily the best Android skin Samsung has made. One UI is smoother, more reliable, and easier to use than Samsung Experience or TouchWiz, the skins that preceded it. Aside from a blip with One UI 7, it’s been updated quicker than ever, often beating other Android skins.

OnePlus Nord 5 review: selfie-centric midranger

The OnePlus Nord 5 does exactly what the company’s Nord phones have always done: deliver strong specs at a relatively low price. It’s one of the more powerful phones at this price point and should easily outstrip Samsung and Google’s more expensive alternatives. This is a function-over-form phone, one where the key selling points are a powerful processor and long battery life, which are the boring mainstays that tend to matter the most in midrange models like this. The problem for the Nord 5 is
